Savage, pianist of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, has died at 58
    2018-09-05  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

Conway Savage, the long-time pianist of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, has died at aged 58. Savage was diagnozed with a brain tumor in 2017 and died on Sunday evening.

In a statement, Cave called Savage “the anarchic* thread that ran through the band’s live performances,” adding: “He was much loved by everyone, band members and fans like. Irascible*, funny, terrifying, sentimental, warm-hearted, gentle, acerbic*, honest, genuine* — he was all of these things and quite literally ‘had the gift of a golden voice,’ high and sweet and drenched in soul.”

“On a drunken night, at four in the morning, in a hotel bar in Cologne, Conway sat at the piano and sang ‘Streets of Laredo’ to us, in his sweet, melancholy* style and stopped the world for a moment. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house. Goodbye Conway, there isn’t a dry eye in the house.”

Savage had been an integral* member of the Bad Seeds since 1990, when he was hired to play piano and organ on the band’s tour supporting “The Good Son.” He subsequently appeared on nine Bad Seeds albums, beginning with 1992’s “Henry’s Dreams” through 2013’s “Push the Sky Away.”

Though he primarily contributed backing vocals on the band’s albums, Conway took center stage on “The Willow Garden,” a 1995 B-side of the single, “Where the Wild Roses Grow.” (SD-Agencies)
